The Board is further requested to authorize the Commissioner of the Department of Housing and Community Development to execute any and all documents to effectuate this transaction subject to review and approval for form and legal sufficiency by the Department of Law. AMOUNT OF MONEY AND SOURCE: N/A BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION: The City purchased Mosher Court Apartments (2950 Mosher Street) from HUD on September, 2008, for the purchase price of $10.00. The property formerly housed 64-affordable units receiving Section 8 subsidy. HUD foreclosed on the property due to a loan default and the troubled condition of the property. The contract of sale with the City included deed covenants requiring that the 64-units be demolished and that 64 replacement units be constructed on the site. The DHCD examined redevelopment options for the site and consulted with the surrounding Franklintown Road community. The determination was made that redevelopment of 64-affordable units on the Site was undesirable due to several factors. First, the property is enclosed on three sides, resulting in an isolated site with only one point of access to the street. Second, the construction of 64 units on the 1.37 acre site would produce a density out of line with the surrounding two-story single-family homes. Finally, the site is too small and not in an appropriate location to include any amenities typically found in new affordable rental developments. 22 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 03/28/2012 DHCD ­ cont'd The DHCD obtained approval of HUD to transfer the restrictions in the deed covenant to off-site replacement units. The North Avenue Gateway Project was identified as a suitable site for the replacement units. The North Avenue Gateway Project is an affordable rental development that will be constructed on the 3000 block of West North Avenue on the property currently owned by the City. The project was identified as an appropriate location for replacement units due to its close proximity to the site, its development program which already included 64 rental units with long-term affordability restrictions, and its inclusion of amenities such as an on-site health clinic, community center, and computer room. The developer of the project, the Woda Group, LLC agreed to the transfer of the restrictions and to record a declaration of restrictive use and other covenants on the project. The property for the project will be conveyed to the developer from the City. A land disposition agreement was approved on September 29, 2010. This request will: 1) release requirements included in a deed covenant on the former Mosher Court Apartments site (the Site), located at 2950 Mosher Street, purchased by the City from the United States Department of Housing and Community Development (HUD); and 2) Record a declaration of restrictive use and other covenants for 64-affforable rental units in the North Avenue Gateway Project (the Project), located at 3000 block of West North Avenue. The restrictions in the deed covenants will be effectively transferred from the Mosher Court Site to North Avenue Gateway Project. 23 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 03/28/2012 DHCD ­ Cont'd The DHCD will consult with the Franklintown Road community and elected officials to formulate an appropriate redevelopment plan for the site, once the deed covenants are released. MBE/WBE PARTICIPATION: The Developer has agreed to comply with Article 5, Subtitle 28 of the Baltimore City Code Minority and Women's Business Program under its land disposition agreement and no request for a waiver or exception has been made. 24 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 03/28/2012 Department of Housing and - Local Government Resolutions Community Development The Board is requested to approve and authorize execution of the following local government resolutions. The following Projects are applying to the State of Maryland's Rental Housing Fund Loan (RHFL) or the Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) or the State of Maryland's Neighborhood BusinessWorks Program (NBWP).

The Board is further requested to authorize the Commissioner of the Department of Housing and Community Development to execute any and all documents to effectuate this transaction subject to review and approval for form and legal sufficiency by the Department of Law. AMOUNT OF MONEY AND SOURCE: $148,000.00 ­ 9910-903480-9588 BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION: Roberta's House, Inc. (borrower), a Baltimore-based non-profit center, currently runs Roberta's House, a grief and bereavement center that offers counseling services to children and their families within the City. Working through the necessary grief stages and understanding the essential needs of a child's grief allow families to support each other and communicate more effectively. Children work in small, age-appropriate groups utilizing creative activities to identify feelings and needs, and adults share in groups and are given resources to support them as well in their journey. Roberta's House is currently located at 1900 North Broadway Street and has outgrown its space. The Borrower has proposed to construct a new facility (the Project) on the properties currently known as 922-928 E. North Avenue (the Site). Using a combination of public and private resources, the Project will consist of the new construction of a three-story steel-framed facility with approximately 14,500 gross square feet. After moving into its new facility, Roberta's House is intended to serve at least 500 urban families annually who are seeking bereavement support and/or are referred by other agencies and will be staffed by approximately eight members and a volunteer 27 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 03/28/2012 DHCD ­ cont'd team of at least 50-100 members. When complete, the project is anticipated to represent a total investment of $3,200,000.00. Of this amount, the State has committed $200,000.00 to this project through its capital budget. The City is requesting approval of a Bond-funded loan in an amount not to exceed $148,000.00 (the City Loan). Proceeds of the City Loan will be used to demolish four abandoned rowhouse structures that constitute a long-term blighting influence and detract from efforts to attract new investment. Demolition will be undertaken, at the Borrower's request, using the City's existing demolition contract. The City loan will be provided as a no-interest loan that will be forgiven provided the facility is constructed and has received its Use and Occupancy Permit within three years following demolition and is used for the purposes stated for 15 years following completion of construction. In the event these conditions are not met, Roberta's House will be responsible for repaying the City the full amount of the City loan. The City loan will be evidenced by a note, which will be secured by a deed of trust and regulatory agreement (the Deed of Trust), or equivalent documents, ensuring that the Owner complies with the requirement set forth herein. Any Deed of Trust will be recorded in Land Records. Following the completion of construction, the City may require that the Borrower further secure the City loan by placing an additional lien on real property or other collateral whose appraised value is not less than the amount of the City loan. In order to assist Roberta's House with its fundraising efforts and efforts to secure a permanent loan, the City agrees to subordinate the City loan to a loan made by a permanent lender so long as the City is able to negotiate a mutually-agreeable subordination or inter-creditor agreement with such permanent lender.

The Board is further requested to authorize the Commissioner of the Department of Housing and Community Development to execute any and all documents to effectuate this transaction subject to review and approval for form and legal sufficiency by the Department of Law. AMOUNT OF MONEY AND SOURCE: Source Uses TRF-Baltimore, LLC $1,246,500.00 Acquisition $ 15,490.00 HOME Funds* 450,000.00 Construction 1,357,361.00 Community Legacy 150,000.00 Professional fee 157,337.00 Financing fees 39,550.00 Soft costs 232,932.00 Proj. contingency 43,830.00 TOTAL $1,846,500.00 TOTAL $1,846,500.00 Account: 9910-902289-9610* BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION: The HOME loan will be used to support a portion of the construc- tion related costs for seven homeownership units on East Oliver Street. The TRF, a non-profit Delaware limited liability company and a certified Baltimore City Community Development Housing Organization (CHDO), was established by The Reinvestment Fund, in partnership with B.U.I.L.D., in an attempt to revitalize distressed neighborhoods in Baltimore. For the last several years, TRF has focused on the Greenmount West community of Baltimore by seeking to create high quality new and rehabilitated affordable single-family and multi-family housing. 32 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 03/28/2012 DHCD ­ cont'd On June 15, 2009, the Board of Estimates approved a sale of a vacant lot (approximately 1.22 acres) at the southwest corner of Greenmount Cemetery (and East Oliver Street) to TRF and its partners for residential redevelopment. The parcel was purchased from the City for $203,000.00 and subdivided to accommodate both multi-family and single-family development. The multi-family phase of development is the 69-unit City Arts Apartment building (City Arts Apartments), which was specifically designed to create quality affordable housing for artists and, now that it is completed, serves as a vital residential investment in the Station North Arts and Entertainment District. The developer of the City Arts Apartments, TRF Development, Homes for America and Jubilee Baltimore, secured $13,500,000.00 of permanent financing to construct the project. The financing structure required no subsidy from the City of Baltimore. City Arts Apartments is now fully occupied. In addition, the TRF worked closely with the City to acquire nine vacant properties located at 406-422 E. Oliver Street to the immediate west of the City Arts Apartments. TRF invested $1,500,000.00 of State and private funds to acquire and rehabilitate these properties, now known as City Arts Historic Townhomes. These nine units are currently being leased at rates affordable to moderate income households. The last investment needed to completely reoccupy this three block area is City Arts Lofts. City Arts Lofts will be constructed on the single-family homeownership lots, located next to City Arts Apartments at 426 through 438 E. Oliver Street, that were transferred to TRF DP8, LLC, a subsidiary of TRF. In keeping with the intent of the 2009 Board approval, TRF and TRF DP8 will develop seven for-sale townhomes that will continue the revitalization for the neighborhood and ensure a long-term supply of affordably priced owner-occupied housing in this promising neighborhood market. 33 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 03/28/2012 DHCD ­ cont'd City Arts Lofts will be an additional $1,800,000.00 investment into the neighborhood and the units are expected to be sold to homeowners who will finance the purchase with first mortgages of approximately $154,500.00 per unit (this does not include any other subsidies or soft subordinate financing). TRF Development is investing $1,246,499.00 of its own capital and $150,000.00 of MD-DHCD Community Legacy Funds. The HOME Loan will be made to TRF, or an affiliate of the TRF such as TRF DP8. The proceeds of the HOME Loan are needed to fill the gap in the financing and will be utilized to lower the purchase price and make all homes affordable to families earning less than 80 percent of area median income. Once City Arts Lofts is complete, the parcel will be fully redeveloped and the new building housing will act as a catalyst for additional neighborhood investment. Upon completion of the City Arts Lofts, the TRF and its partners will have invested almost $17,000,000.00 into the City Arts redevelopment area, thus leveraging the City's financial commitment of $37.00 to $1.00 in this area. The HOME Loan will have an interest rate of zero percent per annum on sums advanced. As the units are sold to qualified buyers (each, a Buyer), each buyer will assume a portion of the obligation of the HOME Loan (the Buyer Share) and the borrower will be released from a pro rata portion of the HOME Loan. The per unit subsidy for each of the units will be $64,285.71. The Buyer's share will be evidenced by a promissory note and other security instruments and structured as a deferred loan. The proposed buyer will assume $30,000.00 as a homebuyer subsidy (the Buyer HOME Loan). The remaining $34,285.71 in HOME funds will be a development subsidy and permanent write down to the unit. If each Buyer complies with all applicable terms and covenants of the loan documents for a 15 year period of affordability, the payment of the outstanding principal will be forgiven. In the event a conveyance occurs during the period of affordability, such Buyer will repay the Department all or a portion of its loan out of net proceeds. The HOME loan will be non-recourse debt. 34 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 03/28/2012 DHCD ­ cont'd The Department will continue to be entitled to a 50 percent share of any and all excess sales proceeds after the developer (i) earns no more than ten percent in profit and overhead based on a cost certification, and (ii) is reimbursed for documented predevelopment overhead on the project for such items, in such amounts and for such periods as are approved by the Department.

The period of the lease agreement is April 1, 2012 through March 31, 2062. AMOUNT OF MONEY AND SOURCE: $56,640.00 ­ 2076-000000-2321-707700-603016 BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION: On May 21, 2008, the Board approved a land disposition agreement for the sale of a City-owned parcel of land, located at 3700 Fleet Street, to Baltimore Medical System and Highlandtown Development, LLC (developers) for the purpose of constructing the Southeast Professional Center. A condition of the sale of 3700 Fleet Street to developers was that the City would have the right to lease the entire lower level of the proposed two-level parking facility for a term of 50 years for $1.00 per year. The Professional Center has since been constructed and the 72-space facility is ready for the City and the PABC to operate. After the facility was constructed, the developers created a condominium regime within the Southeast Professional Center and the governance of the regime is through the Southeast Professional Center Condominium Association, which will act as landlord under the agreement. There are annual operating expenses associated with the agreement that include electricity, security, cleaning and fire prevention, among other expenses that the PABC will be required to pay to the Condominium Association. The PABC expects that parking revenue will offset these expenses while providing the needed public parking in the area. The PABC will manage parking at the facility through multi-space pay-and-display (EZ Park) parking meters. The PABC believes that this agreement will be beneficial to the City, particularly the neighborhood surrounding the facility. 52 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 03/28/2012 PABC ­ cont'd MBE/WBE PARTICIPATION: N/A APPROVED FOR FUNDS BY FINANCE (The lease agreement has been approved by the Law Department as to form and legal sufficiency.) 53 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 03/28/2012 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CONTRACT AWARDS/REJECTIONS * * * * * * * The Board is requested to approve award of the formally advertised contracts listed on the following pages: 55 - 58 to the low bidder meeting specifications, or reject bids on those as indicated for the reasons stated.

The purpose of this request is to allow the salary placement of a current employee to be promoted to Grade 119, Merit level 4, at a salary of $83,300.00, rather than the Experience level at a salary of $75,500.00, as indicated by the promotion rule. This position is located in the Energy Division of the Department of General Services. 72 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 03/28/2012 PERSONNEL Dept. of General Services ­ cont'd The Office of the Mayor recommends approval of this request for the following reasons: The Department of General Services has reported that the employee "...was the only candidate within the Department to apply and be approved for the position. In reviewing the other candidates, none had the comparable Energy background and experience." Additionally, the Department of General Services reported that "...He continues to be recruited by private sector companies, such as the JCI Company offering him $90K plus free benefits, for an Engineer Supervisor with a specialty such as Energy. He has routinely turned down offers above $90,000 with full benefits from private energy companies and consultants". Furthermore, the Department of General Services states that it has difficulty in recruiting and retaining qualified candidates in this specialty field (Energy Engineering), and lacks the competitive salary that the private sector uses to lure the City's top talent away.

On November 4, 2011, airline reservations were made for Michelle Spencer and Sarah Morris-Compton for one-day of travel. However, when the conference information arrived from the CDC, it was discovered that since the Department was a new grantee, mandatory training was for two days. After several unsuccessful attempts to change the airline reservations to two days, a second return flight ticket was purchased. The subsistence rate for this area is $189.00 per day. The hotel cost was $133.00 per night, not including occupancy taxes in the amount of $31.92. 82 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 03/28/2012 TRAVEL APPROVAL/REIMBURSEMENTS - cont'd Reimbursement The airline reservations were adjusted; the airfare was charged twice, on November 2, 2011 for a total of $541.80 and on November 21, 2011 a charge of $633.40 for a total of $1,175.20 ($587.60 each) on the City issued card assigned to Dourakine Rosarion. Therefore, Ms. Spencer is requesting a reimbursement of $414.46. Ms. Compton is requesting a reimbursement of $375.15.
